What a busy 3 weeks we have had since the holidays! The children have all enjoyed sharing and singing

children will perform several items for your enjoyment on Friday May 31, at the
morning assembly at 9am. Please mark
your calendar. Thank you.

Show and Tell for the rest of the term is something that begins
with the letter of your child’s first name or nick name.

Thai Culture Day on April 26 gave the children some experience of
traditional Thai activities. These activities live on today and are much
enjoyed, especially throwing water on each other! The children also ate
heartily at the kantoke table of chicken, somtum and sticky rice.

Student Led Conference day on May 1st was an exciting day for parents and
students. The children displayed
confidence and joy while showing their parents what they do at school. Thank you for your attendance to support your

Hat: Please make sure
your child has a hat at school.
We are looking forward to the
last 5 weeks of our fourth term. Your
children have all further developed the attributes of being inquirers, being
reflective and taking responsibility for their learning since returning from the April holidays.
It is great to see them asking and
answering questions displaying their curiosity and knowledge.
